Happy Anniversary Gulf Oil Spill

5

I think the actual damage to the environment is going to be very small. But the Obama team is going to recruit every tree hugger and make a mountain out of a molehill to fine BP for all it's worth, so BP is not such a bargain as many believe. - starbucks4ever

Of course it would be nice to believe this girl is lying for Obama's evil purposes, the people in the background aren't there, all the oil is cleaned or dispersed by safe non-toxic dispersants, my BP investment is safe, toxins in the water will not adversly affect my health, and that such a belief was rational.

Actually checklist, I don't remember any "life on earth as we know it could end" theories of the gulf oil spill except from people who call their neighbors enviro-nazis as they exaggerated and misrepresented what environmentalists actually said.

I do remember hearing that the harm from the gulf oil spill would last for years, BP could not clean the mess and thinking two months after the spill was ridiculously premature to declare any problems gone.

I live in NY, so it is easy for me not to see the Gulf from my house.

For all I know that girl is lying through her teeth, fish are jumping into nets so fast that food prices are coming down and BP has paid every Gulf resident enough to experience wealth beyond their dreams.
